How i explain this? I care for my few couple of close friends deeply, but not much for anyone else. I wouldn't say I'm a void. I'm very emotional. Although I do have the flat affect (I have some psychosis-stuff going on, particularly small hallucinations commonly and bad delusions rarely)
I had psych eval. and he diagnosed me with schizoid pd. The only thing related to SPD is that I am "withdrawn" "difficulty expressing feelings" and "blunted affect" Like I said though, I do have psychosis-y stuff going on as it even states on the symptoms list "Thought Dysfunction" and "Ideas of Persecution". Which was, blatantly ignored. I also do want more friends, and even the psych knows that as i made it clear in the fll-in-the-blank sentence test. |

I have also been diagnosed SPD and feel that I can be emotional, I'm very.... unemotional about myself and what i have been through etc but stick me in front of the TV with a sad program where other people are crying or sad then i'll get emotional.
I have also just been through a period of psychosis type symptoms and goodness do i hate it! (though now i feel emotionally drained and flat and empty and that i think is worse). Though i figured this wasn't part of SPD? I guess everyone is different and you don't have to hit all the markers for SPD to be diagnosed with it, just the majority of them __________________ "Laughing, smiling, joking around look at me here playing the clown. Laughing and chatting, life spinning round, when inside I am slipping, falling down. Behind my mask I do not smile, come and sit with me awhile. You could never imagine how much I hide, sad and lonely, I'm EmptyInside" |

I have been diagnosed with SPD (among other things). I have one friend that I am really close to that I see at least once a week and often end up hanging out there longer than I planned. I have a few other friends, but I don't make it a point to see them. I don't have any psychosis, ideas of persecution etc. My diagnoses make sense to me. AvPD, DPD, SPD, DID, MDD.
Sometimes I want more friends and sometimes I don't. I think I read that SPD people are often quite lonely-they want friends but can't really make friends. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
